Regarding the gegl error above, I think it's due to an incorrect setting in ffmpeg's dependencies (the stable version of 0.6-i586-1vl70). When I try to install ffmpeg, it reports that there is a missing dependency: "ffmpeg: Depends: libva >= 1.0.3". However, the listing for libva in the stable source (extra) is version 0.32.0_1+sds2-i586-1vl70. 1.03 seems quite a bit higher than 0.32. So perhaps there's an error here.

Regarding Inkscape might I add that I also did the update,and found that Inkscape no longer starts. I tried re-installing and receive an error message that "Excluding Inkscape due to dependency failure. inkscape: Depends: popt >= 1.14. " I do see a popt-1.7 listed in my search results. I also re-installed this just to be safe. This didn't change anything.
